Abstract |
Transposable Elements (TEs) have been shown to evolve under the effects of either positive and/or negative selection. Some of them is believed to be beneficial to organisms and they can even be domesticated by their host genome, contributing to genomic diversity and adaptation of natural populations or crops.
The polymorphic landscape of TE at the population level of many species as well as their adaptive capacity is still unknown. Our goal is first, to characterize the evolutionary forces in the genomic neighborhoods of polymorphic TEs in natural populations of economically important plants. Second, to detect and characterize Transposable Element Insertion Polymorphisms (TIPs) in a large gene pool, and third, to gain access to genetic diversity at species level.
Here, we traced TIPs from the previously published 3000 rice genome project database, using Mobile Element Locator Tool (MELT), a software developed specifically for the detection of (TIPs) from large datasets. Using SweeD, a maximum-likelihood approach to infer selective sweeps and localize recent and strong positive selection, we detected the action of recent and strong Darwinian selection in TE polymorphic genomic regions following the insertion of the TE or its absence.
